Mock Modesty in Young Girls.

Woman's Journal A blush is some
thing sacred to pure womanh ood,
and it is sad spectacle for thought
full eyes to note young woman so
far gone in the improprieties that she
pretends to be shocked at things
which simple, unaffected candor is far
from thinking on at all. There are
otherwise modest and virtuous young
ladies who manage to convey by sub
tie insinuations that they are deeply
conscious of scenes which really
modest woman would ignore. It
is true, indeed, as a great writer has
said that a, modest woman must be
at times both deaf and dumb. Dis
agreeable happenings offensive to eyes
and ears, are at times Incidental to
almost every ones life. The most
shelf cred young lady can not be en-
tirely protected. She may find her
self in places where profane language
reaches her ears, where Objectionable
sights greet her eyes. It is then time
for her modesty to take on an armor
of dignity. It is the time for her to be
both deaf and dumb.

Gray costumes Of every shade im-

Good Advice,

Burying potatoes IS discussed as fol-
lows by a writer in the Country Gen
Uleman:
''When cold weather approaches
they are either removed to the cellar
intended for them or buried out of
doors in heaps or pits. When thus
buried they are to be protected from
adverse influences. Sometimes they
are covered carelessly and in ship.
shod manner, with first q thin layer
OF straw, and to compensate for this
deficiency in straw foot Of earth is
heaped upon them outside. The
moisture and foul air which slowly ac-
cumulate in winter are held by
this thick layer of earth, and
they rise to the upper point OF
the conical heap and cause de-
cay of the tubers, which is mistakenly
ascribed to the freezing OF this APP
parently most exposed part. A much
better way is to use plenty of straw
and less earth. A farmer who never
lost one bushel in fifty in his winter
stored potatoes out doors made it O.
rule to put on the heap one foot of
compact straw, with only three or
four inches OF evenly laid earth to
hold it in position. Ventilating holes
were made with crowbar at the apex
and filled with wisps of straw. He
found it safe to place as many as
seventy bushels in heaps thus treated.
The thick mass OF straw not only
served sor protection against frost,
but acted as an excellent absorbent
of bad moisture"

Accomplishments.

Toronto Globe; Shall our daugh.
ers be accomplished or not? The
most accomplished women are those
who in their special line Of action-the
line for which nature as we'll as ed
ucatlon has fitted thenn-have accom-
plished the most. If nature intended
you to be a good botanist and a poor
pianist, years OF irksome effort will
scarce avail to modify her intention,
and there is reason to believe that
those women who regret the time
wasted over half-learned accom-
plishment far outnumpere those who
wish that piano playing, like spelling,
was compulsory. Beware Of accom-
plishments and arguments, but once
having taken them up see to it that
the obstacles and opponents in your

Held Too Tight.

Chicago News: The women OF the
country should give more time to rest
and relaxation and less to routine.
They should make fewer pies and less
cake and do more sitting down in the
rocking chair on the porch. They
would be far more useful in their fam
lilies as the years go by. The women
stays at home every day but when
she 'goes to meeting" on Sunday, who
is always "doing for the family" will
soon not only have an idea beyond
the family circle, but none there to its
advantage. She will be worn out phys
ically and mentally early in life, and
her children will begin to ignore her be-
fore they are gone.

Cows and What They Give Us.

From the New York Herald.
Our American dairy interests are
startlinglH enormous. They repre-
sent an investment ofnearly FIVE times
as much as the entire bank capital of
the country-that is to say, the bank
capital is a little less than $671, ,OOO,.
600, while the dairy interests amount
to more than $3, 3,OOO,OOO.OOO.
OF course our readers can not swal-
low such frightful figures in q lump,
and we will therefore arrange them In
several smaller but still heroic doses.
The number of milch cows is estima-
ted at 21,0o0,0Oo. They give each
an average of $50 gallons
OF milk annually. This would
make an aggregate milk production
Of 1850, 100000 gallons a miniature
ocean, a fair-sized Niagara. Four
thousand million gallons are used for
butter, 70O,0OO,OOO for cheese and
the remaining 2,48O.OOO,OOO pass
through the adulterating hands of the
milkman and grocer and down the
throats Of 10000, 900 men, women
and babies in this land OF freedom.
The quantity OF butter manufacture
ed and used is about /, $4,000, ,OoO
pounds, and of cheese 6,5OO,O 900
pounds. The value Of our dairy pro-
ducts for the last twelve months was
nearly $5O0,OOO,OOO. This is co.
600, 900 more tnan the value Of our
annual wheat yield, while it closely
approximates that Of our corn crop,
which is the most valuable of our farm
products.
TO support this immense dairy herd
LOO, ,OOO, 900 acres Of pasture land are
required, worth 50, SOC, ,O0O, 900. It is
easy enough to see, therefore. that the
1000, 600 farmers in this country are
an important element Of our national
welfare and prosperity.

Discrimination in Feeding Stock.

food the Cows can not produce large
quantities OF milk, and the most
economical system of feeding a COW is
to use her Tor converting the cheaper

milk or butter. It will not pay to feed
inferior food, or that which is lacking
IN the elements necessary for milk pro-
duction. The COW that has been dried

The felt-faced hats that is, felt hats

to be worn.
New ulsters for coaching and fash

heavy serge, trimmed with large pearl
or old silver buttons. Jaunty jackets
OF green billiard cloth, with gold but

A Bit of War History From Charles
ton,

No one has as vet turned up to
claim the old silver that was found in
the cistern on the premises of the
Bank of Charleston several a. 600
says The News. and +ho t |aS 80 aO'
- ~ Wv ne anu -ucCartney, are still held
yan for an examination, which will
probably be held tomorrow.
The matter was very generally dis
cussed on the streets yesterday. Many
persons think that the silver ws.ss
placed in the cistern by thievas. who
were, perhaps, hotly purified at the
time, and who have never found if
convenient to return for the plunder.
oIhefs say that it was probably
placed tnere by the owner or some in
tefested person to save it from con-
fiscation. One gentleman said that
the silver was placed there during the
war, and that the owner or
person who placed it there was sub
sequently killed or died before having
time to reveal the secret.
81 have no doubt" he continued.
THAT much gold and silver is buried
all over the south under just such
circumstances, " and to support the
plauslbility of his statement he told
how he had saved his family silver.
He was in the army, as of course
was every other man in Charleston
who was capable of shouldering a
musket, and was at home on a short
furlough just before the evacuation of
the city. Seeing that the city could
not hold out long he determined to
make an effort to save his family
silver. He built, himself, a strong
box out of pine, in which he packed
all his valuables and then secured the
box with several iron bands Next he
purchased plain coffin and placed
the box in 1t, so arranging it that it
could not move. The coffin was then
screwed down securely and taken to
the northeastern railroad depot. At
mat time it was Ii common thing to
meet people on the trains in charge of
the bodies of relatives Who had either
died In camp, on the battlefield, or in
the hospital,
He had some difficulty in getting
transportation, as the trains were ali
crowded; but finally succeeded in get
ting the coffin on fiat car. 1t was
marked ''head and foot" as was
usual At tidG tIluC- III reply TO the
objection of the railroad authorities
that there was no room for the sup
posed corpse save on platform car,
where it would be exposed, he replied
that that would be of no consequence;
it was important to get the coffin to
MonckS Corner at once so that it
might be buried
The train finally reached Monck's
Corner. He secured a wagon and two
negroes helped him to take the casket
to the graveyard, where it was buried.
No one knew the place of burial save
himself and those who assisted at the
burial, and these latter thought they
were burying corpse. After having
done this, the gentleman returned to
duty, and served until the surrender.
Had he been killed, the silver would
probably have remained buried to this
day. After the return of peace. he
went to Monck's Corner and y.
